2.  Science › Latin word: mean “to know” › Process of inquiry that includes repeatable observations and testable hypotheses  “heart of science” › People asking questions about nature and believing that those questions are answerable

3. › Series of ordered steps › Two type: 1) Discovery science 2) Hypothesis-based science /hypothetico-deductive science

4.  Describing natural structure and processes as accurately as possible through careful observation  Led to important conclusion based on type of logic : it called inductive reasoning  Inductive conclusion : generalize the summarizes a large number of specific observation

7.  Example : › Leaf is green. All leaves are green › Rose is red. All roses are red › Leaf have chlorophyll. Leaf is green All leaves have chlorophyll

9.  Hyphotesis = tentative answer or trial explanation  Deductive reasoning › usage of deductive logic to test the hypothesis › Use the general observation to reach specific conclusion › General idea->result

11. Observation Question Hypothesis Prediction Experiment Result Conclusion Result did not support hypothesis Result support hypothesis Suggest further experiment Develop theory

12.  Observation › What you see › Recognize problem  Question › What you want to know  Hypothesis › Tentative answer for some question › Proposed explanation that is testable  Prediction › Logical consequence of hypothesis

13.  Experiment › Having TWO group › Experimental group  2 group  Test differently › Control group  Standard for comparison with one or more experimental group  example : Mice in group A (control group) drink distilled water Mice in group B (experimental group) drink water with drug X Mice in group C (experimental group) drink water with drug Y

14.  Variable › Can be change › 3 types  Independent (manipulated)  condition or event under study  Set up  E.g : 2km,4km,6km  Dependent  Condition or event that may change due to the independent variables  Eg : result  Controlled  All the other condition and events that investigators attempt to keep the sum

15.  Theory › An explanation that is broad in scope, generates new hypothesis and supported by large of evidence

16.  Recorded observation  2 types of data › Qualitative data Recorded description Using note, camera etc E.g. : Jane recording her observation of monkey behavior during field search

17.  Quantitative data › Recorded the measurement (numerical)  Height of building  Weight of animal
